I have one cube, 3 by 3, QiYi Thunderclap. It's used, very used. I'm still deciding if I should buy a new cube or not, thinking the Gans 356x. Any wisdom would be much appreciated ...
My PB single solve in 22.95, but I got very lucky with my cross basically already solved and skipping the last three steps with some sort of beginner method that's name I can't remember.
My PB 5 solve average is 29.83. I did this last night...
Cubing is not my mane sport, in fact I don't do it as a sport at all. It's just a hobby. My mom bought me a rip off Rubiks branded cube in 2013 as a b-day present. I was 11 years old at the time. I learned to solve it 3 hours later and was bit by the bug instantaneously. I lubed the cube with petroleum jelly and played with this hunk of crap up until 2017, but I was happy. It was at this stage that one of my students (I've taught a couple of dozen people to solve the cube by then) bought some sort of speed cube and I was jelly. To combat this I bought the Thunderclap that I have today. A year back I got bored with my 50+ sec solves and decided to learn CFOP as that seems to be the universal method. It took me a while to get F2L and I still struggle to see them fast enough. Still learning Oll and PLL.
Me other than Cubing:
-I was born in '02
-I live near Johannesburg in South Africa
-I like the outdoors and do many outdoor sports
-I used to swim
-I love classic cars
-The only video game I like is Minecraft
-I've got national colors for Orienteering
Cubing isn't very big in South Africa and it can sometimes be lonely and boring because of this. I'm am excited to be a part of this community.
